Premature Ejaculation: Response to Increasing the Frequency of Ejaculation. Report of a Case.

Abstract

Background: Premature ejaculation (PE) is currently the most common form of sexual dysfunction in men. A
good clinical history remains the best diagnostic method. Increasing the frequency of sexual intercourse between couples who experience PE has not been previously known to increased their self-reported Intravaginal ejaculation latency time. Case presentation: A case is reported of a couple who had been diagnosed with acquired premature ejaculation of 3 years duration with self-reported intravaginal ejaculatory latency time of 2 to 3 minutes. While participating in a study on the effect of increasing frequency of ejaculation on the serum prostate specific antigen level which required their having sexual intercourse 2 to 3 times a week, their self-reported intravaginal ejaculation latency time increased to 30 minutes. Conclusions: Increasing the frequency of sexual intercourse may be an additional armamentarium in the treatment of couples who have acquired premature ejaculation.
